My TeaParty acquaintances assure me that a Corporation has no moral obligation other than to maximize the Share value of it's shareholders and owners. Therefore, if they have an opportunity to betray 300million Americans ("We The People") for a few bucks, Amazon (like Judas) MUST do it! Otherwise ANY stockholder can sue them for Misappropriation of Funds, Dereliction of Duty, Fraud, and Unethical Conduct!
Yes! If demanded by the Shareholders Amazon is REQUIRED by USA law to sell-out the USA! Of course, the shareholders have delegated that job to the Board Of Directors, a small group of people generally selected by each other. Just like the Mafia.
Do you know the name of any Amazon Director?
Here's the setup that will put Americas CIA testicles in the hands of Jeff Bezos so that he can sell them to the highest bidder:

Amazon Wins Ruling for $600 Million CIA Cloud Contract
By Edvard Pettersson Oct 7, 2013 9:01 PM PT
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) defeated International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)’s effort to reopen bidding for a $600 million Central Intelligence Agency cloud computing contract.
Judge Thomas Wheeler of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington granted Amazon’s request for judgment on the administrative record following a hearing yesterday, according to a minute order posted on the court’s electronic docket. A written opinion will follow, according to the order.
Amazon sued in July after the Government Accountability Office, the agency that makes recommendations on challenges to contracts, sided with IBM and agreed that the CIA had failed to properly evaluate prices and had waived a contract requirement only for Seattle-based Amazon.
“We are disappointed with the ruling from the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, reversing the GAO’s recommendation to reopen the competition and correct flaws in the bidding process,” Armonk, New York-based IBM said in an e-mailed statement. The company plans to appeal this decision,’’ according to the statement.
“This court decision seems especially inappropriate in light of the current times, since IBM’s bid was superior in many ways, including being substantially more cost-effective,” the company said.
Both the complaint and Amazon’s request for a ruling in its favor were filed under seal, as was the requests by the Justice Department and IBM for a ruling in their favor.
Mary Osako, an Amazon spokeswoman, and representatives of the Justice Department didn’t immediately return calls after regular business hours yesterday seeking comment on the ruling.
The case is Amazon Web Services Inc. v. U.S., 13-cv-00506, U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Washington).

And remember, Amazon CANNOT suddenly find some morals or courage or empathy for mere US citizens and refuse to sell our CIA secrets to The Highest Bidder (like, say, Vladmir Putin, or a Muslim combine). Bezos is REQUIRED to betray us!
Get it?
This is where our stupid obeisance to Corporate Demands and a bogus 'capital' theory of economics has brought us! Only suicide can end our dilemna!
